All disbursements shall be made by order signed by two of the three of the Mayor, the City Administrator, and the Director of Finance and Administrative Services, duly authorized by the Director of Finance and Administrative Services and, in his or her absence to the City Administrator, and every such order shall specify the purpose for which the disbursement is made, and indicate that it is to be paid out of the proper fund. But no such order shall be paid until there is money to the credit of the fund out of which it is to be paid sufficient to pay the same together with all then outstanding encumbrances upon the fund. No claim against the city shall be allowed, except as otherwise provided in this chapter, unless accompanied by an itemized invoice or voucher, payroll or time sheet signed by a responsible officer who has personal knowledge of the facts in the case and certifies to the correctness and reasonableness of the claim, and that it is a proper claim against the city.
